Because one good headshot is fine, but a set of great headshots can open many more doors.

How We Work Together

I make my shoots like 3-4 mini sessions in one, working my ass off and using all my photographic, lighting and directing skills to make your session as productive as possible:

- I treat you as an individual: learning how you've been cast, the roles you'd like & what your agent wants, considering your skin tone, facial structure & hair/eye colour.
- We get as much variety out of the session as possible.
- We shoot indoors & outdoors, in colour & B&W and choose a selection of tops that will show the greatest range.
- Plus: I work to use different backgrounds, different lighting techniques & direct you to different moods to help capture your full casting possibilities.
We spend time on simple posing techniques that will help you look your best, while appearing perfectly natural.
- I ask you to help shape the session: I send a welcome pack to help you brief me, then during the session we regularly review photos to get the headshots you need.
- I offer a range of packages to suit all budgets and needs (check out the link for full details of booking and sessions)

Of course you can rely on my industry expertise (The Stage recently called me a "Top Theatre Photographer", and how many other photographers do you know who have surveyed all UK casting directors in the last year?), but I think this is the best way to get eye-catching shots capturing the full range of your casting.

Plus, my sessions are relaxed - even fun - with music, tea, chat and no time-pressure, so you feel and look at ease in front of camera. Check out the video at the link above, for a taster.

But the proof's in the pudding, right? So explore my work in more depth here, or on my website.

Jake Hogan
Michael Wharley made me feel relaxed and comfortable in my first headshot session with him, he captured a range of theatrical, traditional and commercial looks all in one session.The resulting headshots were outstandingly professional and I would highly recommend him for any aspiring actor.

Vicky Winning
Michael is the ultimate professional from start to finish, during the shoot he made me feel relaxed and I was very happy with the results.

Debbie Bird
Michael's studio was easy to access and I was made to feel very welcome. Michael talked me through all my clothing and character offers and worked methodically and easily throughout the session creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere. I was extremely happy with my photos and the after service I received.

Samuel Armfield
Extremely happy with the photos! He is a top professional who makes you feel completely at ease throughout. Using his experience and knowledge, he really captures you at your best in a variety of casting types. Highly recommend!

Jake Herbert
Michael is an absolute delight to shoot with and completely makes it a collaboration from the outset. He understands all aspects of head shots from all perspectives of the industry. GENIUS!

Cassandra Lyons
This is my second headshot session with Michael so yes I am impressed with Michael. Michael makes everything about the session both hassle and pain free from booking to receiving your final shots. Michael (as he says on his website used to be a actor) this is so helpful as he knows what is required what will work and what won't. During the shoot Michael gives really clear concise accessible direction as well. Michael has a keen eye for detail and composition and creates striking and interesting colours and lighting as well as taking brilliant shots of everyone. Have a look at his website there is such a variety of faces ages sexes types etc and everyone has very arresting shots. As well as being delighted with the finished product I know in the past I have taken stress into previous shoots and perhaps what is really worth its' weight in gold is how calm and relaxing both Michael and his lovely Make Up Artist Terri Pace are. for the duration of the session I felt like I was just having a lovely old chat.

Kaiden DuBois
Incredibly easy photographer to work with, and amazing final shots. I would definitely recommend!

Angela Myers
Very talented photographer - really knows what to do with light.

Taya James
Michael is a fantastic photographer & is really professional at all times, the shoot was very relaxed, we tried a wide range of different looks & I'm really pleased with the final head shots. I will definitely go back to Michael for future head shots & would recommend him to other actors.

David Houston
At the top of his game. "Top theatre photographer" The Stage

Gordon Peaston
Michael is sublime. I was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience. He relaxes you, makes you feel comfortable and works very collaboratively with you and never dictates his own agenda. He is a wonderfully supportive photographer - i have no hesitation in recommending him. I'm delighted with my results.

Great photographer who makes you feel very relaxed. Will definitely be using Michael's services again.

It was awesome to have my first ever headshot session with Michael! Would recommend to all!

Tom Dayton
Brilliant professional but still fun and friendly approach.

Christopher G. Jones
Michael was an amazing photographer. Impressively skilled and knowledgeable, easy to get on with and spent about 10 minutes grinding coffee for me before the shoot! His photographs speak much more for his skill than my words can!

Carla Cresswell
I can not recommend this photographer enough! Headshot's to me are very daunting and probably my most least favourite part about the industry, but my mind was completely changed after my session with Michael. He made me feel so at ease throughout the session and was very encouraging as well as collaborative. The images are spectacular, he is well and truly gifted from god. He also comes with the option of a lovely MUA Terri Pace, which I can assure you that you are most definitely in safe hands when it comes to both makeup and photographer!

Ben Sherlock
The whole experience was flawless. Brilliant and relaxed shoot and an outstanding final outcome. Worth every penny and a nice guy too! Thoroughly recommend.

Jenine Stacey
I was really worried about feeling at ease and comfortable in my shoot and was also concerned that I just wouldn't get any decent photos for that reason. Michael immediately made me feel relaxed and was utterly brilliant. He communicated well during the shoot, allowing me to view photos and look at what did and didn't work. I left there feeling much more confident infront of the camera and reassured that I would have good images. Which I did.

Mark Topping
Great to work with. Produces great headshots. Best in the business.

Joanna Wills
Great headshots - could not recommend him enough.
TOP TOP GUY!

Kate Kelly
Micheal Wharely turned my usual dread filled, hateful headshot experience into a suprisingly fun and enjoyable afternoon. He's kind, honest, and extremely generous not only with his advice but his time too. He made me feel really comfortable and maybe for the first time I have headshots to be proud off. Very happy with the results.

Euan Bennet
Fantastic session, very relaxed and managed to get a lot done in the time we had!!

Tom Lorimer
Fantastic photographer. Consummate professional and great fun.

Awesome experience. Easy going and knows exactly what to do. Time well spent.

Caroline Oakes
He is a fantastic photographer, he made me feel so at ease with the whole shoot. What a lovely guy and what a pleasure to have my photos taken by him. Highly recommend him, not a bad price either, my agent and myself are so happy with the end result, best photos I have ever had taken.

Natasha Murphy
What an amazing photographer and lovely person to shoot with! I have some amazing Headshots for my portfolio showcasing a range of different looks. Highly recommend his relaxed approach and tailoring the session to suit you, brings out incredible results.

Completely, totally impressed with Michael Wharley. Great session in the studio, with lots of advice and time to try different looks. Excellent quality pictures, got just what I wanted.

Kitty Roe
Absolutely loved working with Michael - he was helpful, friendly and very encouraging and gave great direction. He totally put me at ease and in control of my headshot session. There were plenty of chances to make changes or tweaks to my look, and to see the headshots we had taken and see if there was anything I'd like to change. Cups of tea and lovely conversation. Absolutely recommended, worth every penny. Thanks!!

Sarah Morgan
Michael is fantastic to work with! He knows exactly how to help you get what you want from your shoot, and he's also great fun and made me feel very at ease. I would highly recommend him!

Anna Bolton
Michael Wharley lived up to all the reviews. The session was relaxed, professional and dare I say it - fun! I absolutely recommend him to any actor looking for high quality, tailored images which give you a range of looks to choose from and most importantly look like you at the end of it.

Michael Cotton
Michael was fantastic. By far the best experience on a shoot I've had. He takes time to find out what you want from your photos and then directs you in the photos to produce exactly what you want.

Edward Day
He was fantastic. Michael really took the time to get to know what I wanted from the session and he experimented with different styles until I was satisfied (though to be honest I was satisfied very quickly as the photos look great, no immodesty intended).

Jordan Pitt
Had a great session with Michael. He identifies what you want and makes sure he works towards getting that from you throughout the session. Despite me feeling under the weather, he managed to get results that I am more than happy with! See you in a year or two :)

Orlando Brooke
Brilliant session with Michael Wharley - he makes you feel at ease and brings out your personality with ease.

Lauren Hillyer
Michael Wharley is a fantastic photographer. He really makes you feel comfortable and takes his time to capture the perfect headshot. He works with you and makes sure you leave his studio happy with the results. You get to review your photos after each set, which is great because you can see what you like/dislike. Using natural lighting, he really captures the depth needed for a perfect headshot. I will be going back again next year.

Alice Bell
No other photographer has made me feel as relaxed in front of the camera, and produced such great results in a short time. I'm not a natural in front of the camera and generally have a natural turn, I've always had many many shots to choose from on the contact sheets, instead of the usual one or two. Michael is funny, clever and a talented artist, and they are perfect actor's head shots because he captures perfectly you and the character you project.

Kathryn Goldsmith
Michael is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with. Easy, friendly and fun are perfect words to describe the session with him. My second shoot with him and even more impressed than last time.

David Ahmad
I have used Michael twice and have always been thoroughly delighted with the results: a pleasure to shoot with, he's friendly, helpful and knows how to get the best from you.

Tanya Page
Michael is a great photographer who is incredibly helpful and puts you at your ease straight away

Owen G Bevan
This man... if anyone, can make you feel like you're a professional once more. Clear shots giving colour and clarity and above all, PERSONALITY. His shots lift your image from the screen and page and give you real life in the eyes of a casting director. I would work with him, again and again.

Lucy Scammell
I'm pretty confident that choosing Michael Wharley for my headshots will be the best career decision I make this year.

Jane Goddard
Excellent photographer who only improves as years go on. He's done my last 3 sessions and I've always been delighted with the results.

Tanya Vital
Best Headshots I've had in 15 years! Made me feel welcome and comfortable. Never rushed and worked with me rather than against me. THOROUGHLY recommended

Elliot Hadley

Fantastic, Michael gets you exactly what you're after and is wonderfully 'progressive' about modern headshots!

Michael made me feel relaxed and directed me gently and clearly throughout the session. Pausing to look at the shots that we had so far was really helpful in bringing out even more great shots.
He is really talented and can't be recommended highly enough.
A wonderful start to 2015!

Nick Edison
great experience working with Mike. I don't like having head shots taken, but he made it fun and produced a load of great shots! Thanks Mike!

Amy Harris
I cannot recommend Michael Wharley highly enough.
He makes the whole headshot process such a joy from start to finish, and I always felt he wanted me to get the best possible shots that will compliment my casting applications well.
I'll be going back again.

Michael was amazing to work with. As soon as I got to the studio he made me feel completely relaxed. When we were shooting the photos he made it feel like two friend hanging out, but still he produced very high professional photos.

Great photographer who is an absolute pleasure to work with as well as being able to give really useful advice on the industry generally.

Philippa Howard
Cannot recommend Michael for headshots highly enough!! I'm thrilled with the results. All the looks I hoped for were achieved, surpassing my expectations. Only problem was narrowing down the choices. Plus I had a blast!
I had a real dislike and almost fear of photoshoots. This recent shoot with Michael has changed all that! He got to know what my needs were and still fought to fit that into the cheapest package for me. Despite my explaining I was willing to pay for the Premier.
He carefully directed me and relaxed me to the point where I was having fun (unbelieveable!) We regularly checked to see we were getting the shots I wanted and Michael was very easy to be honest and open with. A fantastic experience!

Ed Bailey
I had a great two and a half hours. Michael has knowledge, skill, warmth and free sweets. He ran the shoot brilliantly and delivered proofs and final shots very promptly. Absolutely superb.

MAtthew Ronchetti
A very enjoyable session with great shots, would thoroughly recommend!

A true professional with a unique skill at capturing the real "you" in a headshot. A great experience and lovely guy!

Rhiannon Owens
I had a lovely morning shooting with Michael. He made me feel very comfortable and took the time to help me decide on the looks I wanted. We took some initial test shots and reviewed them to see what colours worked and discuss any concerns. We then went on to shoot indoors and outdoors with various lights and backgrounds. Michael provided plenty of guidance along the way and I got to review each new batch of pictures to confirm I was happy with them. I felt like I had plenty of time and left feeling very confident that I had achieved what I wanted to out of the shoot. I am very happy with the final result.

Andrew Baguley

Michael Wharley is an excellent photographer and great professional to work with. It was my first professional headshot experience and Michael was very helpful and understanding, always offering constructive suggestions.

Admittedly, having headshots done can be a little daunting, but Michael made me feel relaxed and at ease throughout the session.

Grace Hewitt
I was very impressed by the way Michael worked, as he spent a long time getting to know me and finding out what types of looks I was after, none of which cut into the shoot time, so that I felt relaxed and we were both on the same page in terms of what I wanted. I never felt rushed throughout the shoot and he was very good at giving direction to achieve the looks I wanted. Despite the shoot only being an hour I ended up with so many varied and good shots that I was spoilt for choice on which ones to pick! These are easily the best headshots I have ever had and I will definitely use him again in future! I have already been getting great feedback from the shots and have been recommending him to all my actor friends.

Feyi Babalola
Michael is very professional and good at what his does. He has a great eye for detail and he does everyhing he can to ensure that he captures you at your best.
Michael understands that actors need to portray a range of cast types which is extremely benifical and helpful for the actor. You are also able to view your images during your shoot which is fantasic.

Not only does Michael understand the science and the art of the headshot, but he totally gets actors and knows how best to collaborate with them to get the best from a shoot.

Sandra Veronica Stańczyk
Michael's camera is a sketch book. So is the life of an actor.. His photographs don't just say 'someone', they talk ABOUT that someone. He cares about people before the lens is even opened and manages to marry professionalism with a great sense of humor. He's not a witness, he's a storyteller.

Natalie Rosewood

A superb casual yet professional session. Had a lot of fun, and Michael found it seemingly easy to capture the best of me. Would highly recommend.

Adrian Fear
I'd strongly recommend anybody having photos taken to have a look at Michael's site www.michaelwharley.co.uk and click on the link 'Wharley in 'The Stage'' and have a look at some of his excellent articles including ones on headshot trends and the nature of casting and perhaps most invaluably an article on what you get from various popular photographer and for how much. During the session Michael listens carefully to what you want from your photos and is technically and creatively expert to capture that. Turn around for contact sheet and finished prints was very fast and just another aspect of his attention to detail that makes him an excellent photographer.

Jamal Chong
These were my first head shots and it was really good working with Michael. He gave me loads of ideas and completely understood what I wanted for my photos. I am very happy with how the photos have come out, all credit to Michael.

Joanna King
Michael Wharley is BY FAR the best photographer I have ever worked with. Over the many years I have struggled feeling comfortable in front of a 'still' camera and trying to display my character as an Actress.... Until I had my session with Michael Wharley. I had 24 perfect shots to choose from?! Never had to struggle to much to choose from 24! Absolutely the best session ever.

Chris Carroll
A great photographer. Michael makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed, and knows exactly what to say to get the best out of you.

The turnaround on the shoot was very fast too, I had a contact sheet to view online, the same day and within another day or two had my final choices ready. Highly recommended.

I was very impressed with my session with Michael. He listened to what I wanted from the session, gave advice on my casting and talked with me about the variety of looks I wanted. I was extremely happy with the range of shots we took and think they have contributed to the casting calls I have obtained since.

Really pleased with the set of photos that Mike took. Professional and friendly throughout I'd definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get head shots.
